Real Name Scott Thomson. Meta Userpage Faendalimas. Wikispecies user page Faendalimas. I have been active on Wikipedia EN and Wikispecies for over 10 years. On Wikispecies I am a Bureaucrat and a CheckUser. On Wikispecies I developed the CheckUser pages I also have managed the active versus inactive admins. This has resulted in my applying on several occasions to Meta for removal of privelages. I spend significant time mediating issues that come up and have also been involved in the Wikipedia Copywrite cleanup, OTRS etc. In the course of my adminstrative activities I have had to go to Stewards on a number of occasions. As a CheckUser I have already signed the confidentiality agreements.

Stevenmitchell(Eligible, checked by Ankry)2018• Despite the uncertainty of his low contribution rate (which may have been very periodic and is not to visible non-admins) and some of his misunderstanding of a steward's role, I am voting yes because I think he can still contribute effectively.

Laurent Jerry(Eligible, checked by Jianhui67)2018• You may be a very little contributor to the Wikimedians projects, your “species” specificity could bring some renewal to the staff. Why not ? Laurent Jerry (talk) 14:06, 22 February 2018 (UTC)

Rschen7754(Eligible, checked by AlvaroMolina)2018•Canvassing, no thanks, and it shows a severe lack of understanding of what being a steward is. 6,387 edits is also not that much (for perspective, he would have the lowest number of edits of any steward by around 4300 edits, and yes I was annoyed enough at the canvassing to figure that number out), Also the answer to MF-Warburg's question is wrong, stewards are not a global ArbCom.

KPFC(Eligible, checked by AlvaroMolina)2018• per his answers, which show a huge misunderstanding of steward work – KPFC💬 14:16, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

AlvaroMolina(Eligible, checked by Jianhui67)2018• I'm sorry, I know and I've seen the work he does as administrator, bureaucrat and checkuser in Wikispecies (and the truth is good), but I do not think he's even ready to be steward. —AlvaroMolina (✉ - ✔) 14:19, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

MF-Warburg(Eligible, checked by AlvaroMolina)2018• From his statement, I don't see why he is candidating for steward except that he has made some requests to stewards in the past. They are however of such nature that he couldn't execute them himself as a steward. Also, I am flabbergasted by the reply to my question in which he suggests that, faced with a conflict on a local wiki with wheelwarring admins, he would - instead of the first and only thing that might be possible, namely to emergency-desysop admins gone rogue - (ab)use his steward rights in order to send warnings and issue blocks to people based on special enwiki policies (e.g. the "3RR", 3-revert-rule, which is hardly known outsite of enwiki). Wanting to help to mediate in a conflict is nice and well, but coming along and imposing a whole process of bureaucracy on a community backed by steward tools is not. --MF-W 14:33, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

Vogone(Eligible, checked by AlvaroMolina)2018• The answer to the questions (especially to MF-Warburg's) makes it clear to me that the steward role has not been understood sufficiently. —Vogone (talk) 14:41, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

Nick(Eligible, checked by AlvaroMolina)2018• I'm afraid that they're not the capable and competent user they portray themselves to be. Their answers to questions and their canvassing would suggest more experience is needed in order to bring them up to the level of experience needed Stewards are expected to have.

Kostas20142(Eligible, checked by AlvaroMolina)2018• I will definitely assume good faith regarding the canvassing mentioned above. However I would like to see more cross-wiki participation, or at least something exceptional that will convince me to support before doing so. Don't let this discourage you, just thank you for your participation in Wikimedia so far! Kostas20142 (talk) 17:49, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

Jasper Deng(Eligible, checked by Jianhui67)2018• No need for steward access stated, and canvassing is a no-no. Just because a wiki has no member of their community as steward does not itself support a candidacy for steward access. Jasper Deng (talk) 09:11, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Base(Eligible, checked by Ankry)2018• Very limited scope experience. Wikispecies is a very isolated and unique project, while on other wikis user is no prominent contributor. --Base (talk) 13:26, 11 February 2018 (UTC) Base (talk) 13:26, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Snowolf(Eligible, checked by AlvaroMolina)2018• Very concerned about canvassing in this election, as this has been an issue frowned upon in previous election rounds that should be well understood by candidates. SnowolfHow can I help? 05:27, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

InsaneHacker(Eligible, checked by Jianhui67)2018• I found the candidate's answers to questions to be satisfactory and had a good impression, but some of the concerns expressed by the No-voters are valid and I'll leave it up to others to decide this. InsaneHacker (talk) 09:52, 22 February 2018 (UTC)
